Uncle, did you go to the yamen to sue your aunt and the Deng family?

Not yet, your uncle went to send a letter of resignation for the record, and when I went to look for him, I saw that the yamen notice said that the arrest was fast, and I looked at the requirements above and felt that it was appropriate, so I went to take a trip. At the mention of this, Second Uncle Zhang smiled without disturbing his mouth.

Su Yu asked curiously: What is the result?

The expression on Second Uncle Zhang's face suddenly became stern: Zhang Zhutou asked me to come back and wait for the news, and said that he would notify me tomorrow.

So fast?

yes, I think it's pretty fast, it looks like they're really short of manpower.

Su Yu hesitated for a while, and then said: Second uncle, you also heard what Wang Yu said just now, the town has not been peaceful recently, you really want to go at this time......

Second Uncle Zhang said seriously: Of course I know, but if you think about it the other way, if there is no such thing in the town, the yamen will definitely not recruit people, so ah, this is also an opportunity.

After the second uncle Zhang finished speaking, he said very firmly: It's going to be fine, my old Zhang family's ancestors are buried well, no one died in the great famine back then, and now in this peaceful year, he won't die.

Su Yu saw that Second Uncle Zhang even pulled out the ancestral grave and said it, she felt that she couldn't talk about it anymore, it seemed that the second uncle was also iron-hearted, she sighed in her heart and said, I am afraid that the second uncle will not be able to help with the construction of the house at home.

As he was talking, Su Wang also came from the kitchen, he looked at the sky, and said to Second Uncle Zhang: Uncle, you can make peace here for a night at night, and don't go back, it's dark.

Second Uncle Zhang touched his nose and said with a smile: I think so too, I'm anxious about the Yamen's reply, it's a trivial matter to go back and forth, I'm afraid that the people in the Yamen won't be able to find me, this time, I'll trouble the two of you.

Su Wang smiled and said: Uncle, why do we need to be polite.

The sky was getting dark, the house was dark, Su Wang was going to eat in the house, but before serving the food, he had to go to the house to light the oil lamp, he took Second Uncle Zhang to the house, only to find that the door was bolted inside, and the silver knife was inside, but why did he bolt the door?

Su Wang patted the door, and he shouted: Big brother, open the door.

Du Jun was asleep, and as soon as Su Wang shouted like this, he woke up in shock, and he sat up suddenly.

Big brother, big brother? Su Wang shouted twice.

Du Jun realized that it was dark, he stood up and went to open the door again, he saw Su Wang outside the door, and smiled embarrassedly: I just squinted for a while, but I didn't expect to sleep to death.

It's okay, Erniu's medicine is boiled, you can go and drink it. Su Wangdai pointed to the person in front of him and took him to Shudi, so his attitude was very good.

Second Uncle Zhang was a little surprised when he saw this strange young man: Who is this?

Du Jun said with his hand: Under Du Jun.

Only then did Su Wang know Du Jun's name, and he also deliberately glanced at Du Jun, it was indeed a gentleman's style.

Second Uncle Zhang replied: It turned out to be Brother Du, I am Su Wang's second uncle, you can just call me Uncle Zhang.

The corners of Du Jun's mouth stiffened, but he still squeezed out two words: Uncle Zhang.

Over there, Su Wang poured the medicine into the big bowl with a rag and the medicine jar, and then she came over with the bowl again, she looked up at Du Jun: Quickly take the medicine, you don't drink it.

Du Jun hurriedly took the medicine in her hand, it was still a little hot, he blew it by himself, he tried to drink a small sip, he felt that it was still hot, he turned around and brought the medicine into the house and put it on the table, at this time, Su Wang happened to light the two oil lamps in the house, and the room lit up.

After Su Yu handed the medicine to Du Jun, he went to the kitchen and brought the dishes, then there were three dishes, all of which were vegetarian dishes, but one plate was eggs, which was quite passable, if it weren't for Du Jun here, Su Wang wouldn't have planned to copy three dishes, fortunately, the amount of food he cooked was enough, otherwise it would really not be enough for four people to eat.

Du Jun drank the medicine first, and then began to eat with everyone.

While eating, Su Yu suddenly looked up at Su Wang and said, "Brother, let's go to see grandma tomorrow, what can you do with the group of people you are looking for, it is better to let them go to Sujia Village a few days later."

Su Wang was also worried, he sighed and said: This can only be done, but the brick yard said that they will come over early tomorrow morning to transport the bricks to Sujia Village, and those bricks must be installed now.

When Second Uncle Zhang heard this, he looked at Su Wang and said: Your grandmother's illness seems to be fine, since you are busy, let's go a few days later, and when the yamen returns my news tomorrow, I will go home and tell them, they will definitely be able to understand you.

Su Wang hesitated in his heart.

Du Jun suddenly got up and said that the Chen Mansion was going to leave in advance, and he hadn't told the Su family brothers, so he looked up at Su Wang and said: The Chen Mansion said that he was leaving early, and their family's minions were almost sold, I'm afraid you have to prepare early.

Su Wang was taken aback and asked, "How far in advance?"

Du Jun thought for a while and said: I'm not sure yet, five days is about the same.

Five days! Su Wang's brows furrowed tightly, this time is too tight, and the affairs of the family can't be arranged at all, let alone building a house, it will take a day to go to Zhang's house to see grandma.

The fact that Chen Fu was preparing to leave ahead of schedule disrupted all of Su Wang's plans, at this time, his eyes suddenly became firm, and he said: The mason doesn't have to be a few days late, Erniu, you go back to the village with me tomorrow, and recognize people when the time comes, I asked, tomorrow is a good day, let's start tomorrow.

Su Yu was silent for a moment and said, "Brother, my mother hasn't come back yet, the things at home ......

Su Wangdao: It's just built next to it, don't move the things in the house, it's okay, it's just that your family is still not good at home, and then you have to ask Uncle Bolt for help, alas, it's a pity that grandma is sick, otherwise you can let your uncle come to help.

Second Uncle Zhang put down the bowl and looked at Su Wangdao: Chen Mansion left early? Are you going to go with the Chen Mansion? Go to your dad?

Su Wang nodded.

Second Uncle Zhang thought for a while and said: Alas, this matter is really a pile, your uncle probably has to go to the Deng family, I still have to wait for the news of the Yamen, in this way, if I am not selected, you can leave this matter to me. If he is selected, he can only listen to the arrangement of the yamen, and Second Uncle Zhang is reluctant to let go of this opportunity.

Du Jun looked at them like this, but said softly: Why do you have to build it, even if you want to build a house, you can wait until you come back next year to build it.

Su Wang said firmly: But the house is against the mountain, the house is dilapidated, the winter is extremely cold, only the east house has a kang in the house, if it is cold, it will definitely not be able to stand it, so I can't walk at ease.

Since you have the money to build a house, it is better to buy a house in the town, and when the time comes, it will be safe to spend the winter in the town, and you will not bear them, and when you come back next year, it will be the same. Du Junti said.

Su Yu and Su Wang glanced at each other.

Second Uncle Zhang's eyes were shining, thoughtful, if he really got the errand of catching fast, alas, unfortunately, there was not enough money in the family.

Because of the presence of Second Uncle Zhang, Su Yu and Su Wang did not talk about the shop, but both of them thought in their hearts that since all the manpower and bricks had been found, it would be better to tear down the small shop they bought and rebuild it, and it would be much more convenient than now.

Du Jun asked again: What do you think?

Su Wang said slowly: Let me think again.

After that, the four of them ate quietly and did not continue to talk.

――

A few distinguished guests came to the yamen.

Gao Song sat on the edge of the bed with a dazed face, he thought sullenly, it's been a few days, why hasn't his father sent someone to take him home, just thinking about it, the door suddenly creaked open, Gao Song's eyes panicked, and he suddenly got under the bed.

Who?

Pine, pine...... A choked female voice came.

Gao Song's eyes lit up, mother, it's his mother who is here!

He hurriedly crawled out from under the bed, opened his mouth and shouted: Mother, mother, I'm here. It was very dirty under the bed, and when he came out, he was covered in dust, and a few cobwebs, and a few dirty things on his face, and he looked a little pitiful.

When a noblewoman dressed in a gorgeous dress saw him, she pounced at once, hugged the dirty Gao Song tightly in her arms, and she couldn't stop crying: My son, I've hurt you!

Gao Song originally felt that he was a strong man, he didn't want to cry, but when his mother howled, his tears couldn't help but fall, he cried and said: Why did you come, I almost let the crutch be suffocated to death, if you were not rescued, then you will never see you again, you can only recognize the corpse......

Takamatsu felt that he was a little pitiful as he spoke, and he cried even harder.

Kochifu also came, and he was standing at the door, and he watched his wife and children crying, and his eyes moistened a little.

Kochifu walked over slowly, he touched Gao Song's hand, and said softly: Okay, don't be obedient, manly man, how can you cry like a woman, Song'er, comfort and comfort your mother.

Takamatsu was so crying that his nose blew a bubble, and as soon as Kochifu said this, Takamatsu stopped crying, and then, he poked a bubble with his finger, and then the bubble popped.

Kochifu's face darkened suddenly: You dirty monkey, go wash it quickly and change your clothes.

Gao Song embarrassedly buried his head in Mrs. Gao's arms, and he replied sullenly.

Kochifu looked at Gao Song's monkey appearance, and couldn't help laughing, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, he turned around and walked out of the house, and then sent two state capital's catchers to guard the house, and the catchers were brought by himself.

Changzhi County was waiting outside the door, and as soon as the Kochi Mansion came out, he greeted him with a smile on his face, Lord Gao.

Kozhifu patted Chang Zhixian's shoulder, and said with a look of emotion: Thank you Brother Chang, if it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid there would be very few murders.

Changzhi County shook his hand again and again: The work of raising your hands, the work of raising your hands, the senior brother does not have to be polite.

Kochifu asked again: Brother Chang has caught the trafficker?

Changzhi County sighed and said: Not yet, in addition to the case of human traffickers recently, there have been two murders, one of which even killed more than a dozen people, and they are not from here, I suspect, that is...... The killer sent down from above.

Kochifu was shocked.

Chang Zhixian shut up, looked left and right again, and then he took Kochi Mansion to the guest room next to him, sent someone to guard outside, and the two began to talk in a low voice.

I don't know how long later, the two of them came out of the house, their faces were extremely calm, and they couldn't see anything.

Gao Zhifu went to Gao Song's house again, and Changzhi County called Zhang Zhukuai over, and he lowered his voice and said: This time, all the names of the meritorious ones are recorded, and the prefect said, each person will pull out fifteen taels of silver.

Zhang Zhutou was surprised and said: My lord, there were a lot of people saved at that time, if it is added up, I am afraid that this is not a lot of money.

Changzhi County's eyelids raised: You just have to report, remember, your name can also be reported, and it doesn't hurt to report a few more. Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, even if Lin'an is not as good as Yangzhou, but tens of thousands of taels can still be earned.

Zhang Zhutou was overjoyed, and he bowed his head and replied: Yes, my lord.

Changzhi County said again: By the way, has the recruitment done well?

Zhang Zhutou said: The time is too tight, only two people were recruited, and besides, the people have heard about the murder in the past two days, and they are afraid that they will not dare to come.

Chang Zhixian snorted, and after a while, he said again: Tomorrow the Kochi Mansion will return to the state capital, and tomorrow we will send some people to send it, alas, you are so good to arrange.

Yes, sir.

Chang Zhixian left after speaking, but Zhang Zhutou was still in the Yamen, he definitely couldn't go back today, one came to guard the prefect, and the other was afraid that there would be another homicide, alas, it was not easy to catch the head, fortunately, there was always some oil and water to fish, such as the fifteen taels of silver this time, Zhang Zhutou thought, the names of the Zhang family and the girl of the Su family also have to be remembered, after all, those two are the first work.

Zhang Zhu's mind flashed quickly, as well as Zhang's second uncle's errand, these will be solved together tomorrow.

That night, the town was calm.

――

The next morning, Second Uncle Zhang got up early in the morning, he moved a broken stool and sat in the courtyard, his eyes fixed on the courtyard door, he was waiting for news.

Su Wangqi was startled when he saw Second Uncle Zhang, but he was also busy, he only snored with Second Uncle Zhang and went to wash, after washing, he hurriedly went out, and after a while, he came back with a few steamed buns, this thing is cheap, tastes good, and is easy to take, unlike soup and water, it is not easy to mention.

Su Wang handed a large bag of steamed buns to Second Uncle Zhang, and he said: Second Uncle, you eat first, I will go to the brick field, and I will not come back at noon, if you go back to Grandma's house, remember to tell them, I will go to see Grandma in two days.

Second Uncle Zhang knew that Su Wang was busy, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you go, don't worry, I'll tell them well."

Su Wang heard the words of the second uncle Zhang, he breathed a sigh of relief, after that, he left in a hurry, he had to go to the brick yard first, change the location of the bricks a little, and then go to those masons, let them renovate the shop, as for the house in the countryside, I am afraid it will not be built, this year, there is no man in the family, there will always be some bullying, plus the two uncles have something, the eldest uncle is busy with Deng will finish the affairs of the Deng family, the second uncle is busy with the matter of catching fast, and he, just these few days at home, in a few days he has to leave, he has to prepare his own luggageHe wished there were thirty-six hours in a day.

Du Jun is a patient, he slept in bed last night, Second Uncle Zhang and Su Wang both made bunks, so when the two of them got up, Du Jun didn't know at all, of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't get up with him, because he was a patient, he had to rest.

Su Yu is not a lazy person, the second uncle and the eldest brother got up, she didn't sleep, she washed her clothes, and went to wash, Wang Zhukuai came at this time, Second Uncle Zhang saw Wang Zhukuai, the whole person jumped up, and he ran over with a steamed bun. Brother Wang, what's wrong, is there a result?

Second Uncle Zhang didn't expect the result to come so early, he was half happy and half scared.

Wang Zhuai saw that Second Uncle Zhang looked nervous, but he laughed: Congratulations Brother Tian, you, you have been chosen!

Second Uncle Zhang swallowed his saliva, and he looked at Wang Zhukuai nervously: You didn't coax me?

Wang Zhukuai grinned and said: How dare I coax you about this, you go to the yamen quickly, by the way, you have an errand today, and our fast hunting clothes are also ready-made, let's go.

Second Uncle Zhang's eyes were frighteningly bright, he was crazy with joy, he directly handed all the steamed buns in his hand to Wang Zhukuai, and said: I will wash my face again, and my teeth will be rinsed again.

Second Uncle Zhang suddenly rushed to the side of the water tank.

As soon as Su Yu finished washing, she heard Wang Zhukuai's words, and at this time, she said to Second Uncle Zhang: Uncle, congratulations to you, this is really a happy thing!

After Su Yu finished speaking, he looked at Wang Zhukuai again: Brother Wang, you just said that my uncle has an errand today?

Wang Zhu nodded quickly and said: Yes, Brother Tian, hurry up, I have to go to this matter, there are seven people in total, and we will leave after noon, before that, Brother Tian, you still have to go to the Yamen to listen to the training. Wang Yu shouted at Second Uncle Zhang.

Second Uncle Zhang snorted and spit out the water in his mouth, he wiped his mouth and responded: Okay, I'll be fine right away.

After he finished speaking, he asked Su Yu again: Does your brother have any older clean clothes, change them for me......

As he was talking, the king was in a hurry, he pulled Second Uncle Zhang and walked out of the door, he complained: A big man, what do you do so carefully, let's go quickly.

As he was talking, there was another catcher outside the hospital, it was Xiao Catcher, and he glared at Wang Catcher with a black line: Why are you running so fast, Zhang Zhutou and I are shouting at you in the back, you didn't hear it, I have to be so tired that I will run again.

Wang Zhu's eyes rolled quickly: What do you want me to do? He heard it, and thought he was going to change errands, so he pretended not to hear it, he didn't want to go to the suburbs to investigate the arson and the dead man.

Xiao Yu quickly lowered his head and took out thirty taels of silver from his arms, two ten-fixed, two five-fixed, and he shouted at Su Yu in the house: Su girl, come here.

Su Yu ran over quickly, and before she could stand firmly, Xiao Yu quickly handed her the thirty taels of silver in his hand and said, "You and your uncle are fifteen taels each."

Su Yu unceremoniously took the silver, but asked: To give us the silver?

Xiao Zhu quickly raised his chin: Naturally, it is because you saved the prefect's son, and this silver was sent by the prefect, and it is said that there are meritorious people.

As soon as Wang Zhukuai heard this, he grabbed Xiao Zhukuai's clothes and asked urgently: What about mine, I have also made meritorious contributions!

Xiao Zhuhai gave him a blank look: Your silver is still in the Yamen, at that time, I kept calling you with the head catcher, just because of this silver, you didn't listen to it, and you went faster and faster, I really convinced you.

Wang Zhukuai's tears were in his eyes: How do I know it's for this? Oops, that's a leak!

Xiao Zhu snorted at him: Virtue.

Wang Zhu quickly touched him in his arms again, and asked: Is it really gone? You really didn't bring my share? Hey, I feel like I'm touching the silver!

Xiao Yu quickly slapped his hand: That's mine.

Wang Zhuhai felt unhappy when he thought that his silver was still in the yamen, and the silver had to be carried in his pocket to rest assured, no, he had to go back quickly and get the silver back.

Wang Yu quickly stuffed the steamed bun into Su Yu's arms, and then left in a hurry.

Xiao Zhu quickly patted Second Uncle Zhang: You hurry up and follow him, by the way, I know that you and Zhang Daming are brothers, but ah, you have an errand today, and I am afraid that you will not be able to come back tomorrow, so this silver will be handed over to the girl of the Su family, you have no opinion.

No. Second Uncle Zhang dropped this sentence and ran after Wang Zhu.

Su Yu looked at Xiao Zhukuai: Aren't you leaving? As she spoke, she gave Xiao Kuai two big steamed buns, and the catcher also specially sent the silver, and the two steamed buns were light.

If it is replaced by another yamen, all the money will be there.

Xiao Zhu said quickly: I have to go home and put away the silver, otherwise I won't be at ease on the road. That's fifteen taels, and you can't earn so much silver in a year, so of course you have to hide it at home to feel at ease.

Su Yu looked at him sincerely and said, "Thank you Brother Xiao for this silver matter!"

Xiao Zhukuai smiled: This is okay, in the final analysis, it is your credit, I don't thank you, okay, I'm also busy, so I won't tell you.

Xiao Zhu quickly finished speaking, turned around and left, he stuffed the silver tightly, then picked up a steamed bun and began to eat, eating as he walked.

Su Yu looked at the silver in his arms, and then he had a little sense of reality.

She thought, the second uncle has an errand, and she can only come back tomorrow, she must go to Zhangjia Village today and tell Grandma about it, otherwise they will be worried, by the way, and the uncle's fifteen taels of silver, she will definitely have to send it back, she can listen to the second uncle and say that she has to redeem those things that should be lost.

It's decided, I'll go to Zhangjia Village now, and I can have lunch when the time comes.

Thank you, my idle wife, Liang's mother.
